Hi all, I found a few of these tiny bugs in bed with me last night. I showered, stripped the bed and got rid of them all, only to return to find a few more of them (about 5) had appeared on the mattress. Can anyone tell me what they are? I'm in central UK. My bedroom window opens up next to some trees, so I often get spiders in there, but I've never seen these before. They are absolutely tiny, so sorry for the poor picture quality. The third picture has a 20p coin for scale. ibb.co/rxZnhy3ibb.co/YPyVXkXibb.co/Yjx7TV2Thanks!

Perhaps there are some birds living in the trees near the window, and they are coming in from there? Chickens are another potential source for such mites.
